PQ / ACCESSWIRE / June 19,
2014 /
Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV:
GBB) (OTCPINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") announces
it has received the Preliminary Feasibility Study "PFS" for the
"Rolling Start" at Granada. The results from the PFS demonstrate
the economic viability of the Granada Mine Rolling Start based on
the mineral reserves derived from resources that were outlined by
SGS Canada Inc., as previously disclosed in the Company's news
release dated May 6th, 2014.
The PFS highlights the
fact that significant amounts of gold resources are present. With
the next phase of drilling these additional resources have the
potential to be converted to reserves and as such there remains
excellent exploration likelihood to further expand the size of the
existing mineral inventory.
The PFS Phase 1 "Rolling
Start" Open Pit plan for gold production also provides a more
conservative estimate of profitability than the Preliminary
Economic Assessment (PEA) due to the exclusion of the inferred
resources in conjunction with the use of a higher cut-off grade. As
such, the PFS provides estimates that have a lower risk, which is a
key element in securing financing for the "Rolling Start" even with
less than favorable market conditions.
The Technical Report dated
June 19, 2014 is available through the Internet under the Company's
profile on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and
Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com and on the
Company's website at www.goldbulliondevelopmentcorp.com.
Frank J. Basa, President
and Chief Executive Officer, "Progress at Granada thus far has been
pragmatic and steady which, in hindsight, has been very appropriate
for the overall market conditions of the past few years. The
Company is now on the cusp of gold production at higher grades with
plans for resource expansion and for ramping up gold production in
the upcoming development phases at Granada as we deliver on the
goal of creating shareholder value."
The
delivery of the "Rolling Start" Preliminary Feasibility Study
completes the first stage of Gold Bullion's continuous development
program. The Company has already
begun the second stage of property development with the intention
of becoming a 100,000-ounce per year gold producer in due
course.
The C of A
is currently being completed by Roche with SGS and GMG and is expected to be ready for submission
prior to the end of June.
Frank J. Basa, President
and Chief Executive Officer on property resources, "We have the
flexibility of controlling the grade at the Granada Property with
the intent of re-engineering the current resource and future
drilled resources with a mandate to delineate a property that can
support an annual gold pour rate of 100,000 ounces with all-in cash
costs of US$650 to US$800 per ounce for the life of the mine."
